The GB selection is between the Beaufort and the 80’ Elco PT boat……. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackster Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I received this for Christmas. I have not built any modern stuff before so looking forward to getting my teeth into this. I also enjoyed finding out what its role is. It will have to wait until my Lee Lulubelle is finished though. Cheers Kev 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may do both…….looking forward to the Beaufort as it an underrated early workhorse. Also the squadron was based at North Coates just up the road from me before Strike Wing Beaufighters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_North_Coates 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you build the Elco, I'll join you with the Vosper MTB. I've wanted to see what the PT boat looks like. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 29, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 29, 2022 But wait, there’s more… Martin said that friends don’t give friends Trumpeter… He then quotes Isaiah 64, which immediately got my attention. Then there is Unicorn Cat… standing watch over a Wingnut kit 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 29, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 29, 2022 Martin sure knows how to slap a guy down with massive trauma and self loathing, and then shock him back to life again. Honestly, I’d rather build 100 Anigrand and Amodel bubbly resin kits than a Trumpeter P-40. Especially now with all the great options out there for P-40s… AND, to get me cussing right at first, he wrapped the box for shipping using transparent blue cellophane. I started the death wishes the moment it showed up on my doorstep. I figured it was payback for the Chernobyl Boy incident in Phoenix. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 There is only one person who can handle WNW Ninak in a grand fashion and its not me, so there And yes the getto semi-transparent wrap exposing that eye-catching box art was part of the ploy. I am so evil and that makes me very happy. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 My last purchase of 2022 is a precious tiny jewel, despite being large scale. When I was a kid in West Berlin, there were still some of these quirky vehicles around, polluting the air with their two stroke engines, often used by coal dealers. I have a soft spot for unusual designs, and I couldn't let this one pass. Cheers Rob 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 No pic, because it’s well known, and above all I am lazy ,but, after two months stuck in a Portuguese warehouse waiting for CTT ( the Portuguese Post) to handle it, I finally received my Jetmads Viggen Plus some goodies to kitbash a famous 40’ song, using a conversion set still on its way from Ukraine … Hubert 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Dennis Right with Phil and Harv- please do a WIP build. I check every day to see if the Revell Hurricane is available - and nothing yet in the states - doesn't seem to be available in Canada either. Matter of fact, we still haven't even had an opportunity to purchase the Airfix 1/24 Spit 🙁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
